Gamer kitchen: cooking between matches
10
items What I cook with between streams. Cheap, simple gear that makes real food fast, plus the SG101 rib rub behind my Spawn & Sizzle recipes.
One pan that does everything: smash burgers, eggs, cornbread, and searing ribs before the rub goes on. Lasts forever if you dry it and oil it after.
Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet 10.25"
Cheap insurance against dry chicken and undercooked ribs. Reads in a couple seconds so you can check the grill without missing a match.

Sheet pan nights save me on stream days. Toss chicken thighs and veggies with the SG101 rib rub, one pan in the oven, done in about 30 minutes with barely any cleanup. Bare aluminum heats even and won't warp.
Nordic Ware Naturals Half Sheet Aluminum
Best kitchen buy for a streamer. Wings, fries and leftover pizza come out crispy in about 15 minutes, and I can step away mid-match without babysitting a pan. 5 qt is plenty for one or two people.
Cosori Pro LE 5.0-Quart Air Fryer
Wings, fries and tots in about 15 minutes with zero oven preheat. Small enough for the counter, and the basket goes in the dishwasher.
Ninja AF101 Air Fryer, 4 Qt, 4-in-1
Locking tongs that actually stay locked in the drawer. Flipping wings, grabbing tots out of the air fryer, plating ribs, these do it all and the grips don't get hot.
OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Locking Tongs ...
Dump in chili or ribs before stream, and dinner's done when I log off. Pressure cook mode turns tough cuts tender in under an hour.
Instant Pot Duo 6 Qt 7-in-1 Electric Cooker
Sunday meal prep lives in these. Glass won't stain from chili or BBQ sauce, and they go straight from the fridge to the microwave between matches.
Brilliance™ Glass Food Storage Container Set
The one knife I grab for everything, from chopping onions for chili to slicing brisket. Cheap, stays sharp, and the grip doesn't slip when your hands are greasy.
Victorinox 45520 Fibrox Pro 8-Inch Chef's Knife
Grips on both sides so it doesn't slide around the counter while I'm prepping wings. Goes right in the dishwasher, which matters when I'm trying to get back to the match.
